They do that on purpose, because they WANT people to end up buying duplicates and not being able to send them to everyone. Thats why they always advertise it when a package has giftable games if you buy it (like the torchlight 2 pre-order including a giftable copy of torchlight 1).

For a while, some of the indy bundles were giving different steam codes for each game in the bundle, which made it easy to gift away dupes. But they've mostly stopped doing that, so now you just get 1 steam code for the entire bundle and dupes go to waste.

I did figure that it would go up gradually as it had been over the span of a week; but that jump in a few hours caught me by surprise.

And that penny more every purchase adds up. Its up to $8.21 nowThe initial jump could well be from some of those big donors kicking in

The only one I already owned was Bastion, and I mucked with the sliders in their favor : )

Edit: As for the 'pay more than average for extra game(s)', I think that was an awesome idea... as well as the $5 min for steam keys, or whatever one+ of these sales did...

I only paid $10, even though the bundle is surely worth so much more... But I don't own any of the other games already for a reason; they didn't interest me enough at full price, so why throw a bunch more at em? I'd kind of prefer a play now, buy later approach so I could have the option of adding more money, and playing with the sliders appropriately.

Its because only above average purchases include these extra 3 games (and any previous purchases)

Which, while true, generally only encourages people to bid at that average level and not above. I honestly didn't expect that many people would suddenly jump on board because of three games, two of which have appeared on these bundles before and have had several other sales in the past, within such a short time frame of the three additions being announced.

You only get the extra 3 if you pay MORE than average, not stay at the average. Which means that encourages a rise in average price. In fact, the average is still going up, its up to $8.10 right now.There could be other reasons too, like I don't know when notch kicked in his $10k.

That's one hell of a lineup of quality games. If you don't (legally) own at least half of these in the list you really owe it to yourself to pick this bundle up for the mere pittance they are asking for it - it would practically be a crime not to.

Thankfully the only of these titles that I owned was Psychonauts. I just never got around to picking any of the others up, even though I was interested in most of them. Busy with moving internationally and having a kid :-).

I was surprised to see the average jump to $8.06 (I had thought that it was at $7.80-something this morning), but also saddened to only see it at $8.06. It's a great package.
